One of the small but worth mentioning problems of shooting in beautiful places for me is the following: let's say I see a beautiful location in front of me, some kind of beautiful object, for example, a mountain. If everything is more or less good with the weather and light, and I do not have strong time limits, then I start photographing it a lot: from one angle, from a different angle, with a different foreground, with a slightly different light pattern, at a different scale, etc.
And as a result, I sometimes get a dozen photos of one place / one object that are beautiful and good (in my opinion), and although noticeably different from each other, but at the same time rather similar — and what to do with so many good shots, is unclear for me. Well, the truth is, I can't always choose with a light heart 1 or 2 out of a dozen good photos of the same place from different angles.
As with this mountain, for example. In the very first photo of the post, the mountain itself and the light spots on it are clearly visible, you can look at the details. And in the photo below is the same mountain, but from a distance, with the focus in the foreground — the bush and the ground, and behind them you can see the mountain itself, and how it looks as a whole in the landscape. And I have quite a lot of such variations of its photos: we finished trekking, walked from the mountains and I began to photograph it from afar and gradually shot at different stages of the path from different angles. I have even posted some photos of these here, perhaps you will remember.
Well, how, how can I decide and choose the best 1-2 pictures that are more worthy of being published if I like almost everything? :) I certainly want to show them all, and at the same time I understand that it will probably not be so interesting for the people to watch them one by one. Photographers, do you have such a thing? How do you deal with this?
The photo was taken in Pakistan, near the village of Passu, in the central photo of the post — the beautiful Passu Cones, and the other two photos are an unnamed (for me) mountain, one of the closest to the village.
It's better to watch the photo in high resolution.
